Let’s be real, committing to being unstoppable is a nice idea but when you’re scared or heard “no” too many times its not so easy to keep going.

When I came from Trinidad with my big dreams to be a movie star I lived on Herkimer Street in Bedstuy with my single mom and that’s when I found out I was dark skin. Every day at 3pm the African American kids (we were black back then) would beat me up for being too dark with a funny accent and on my block they called me names like blackie and spookie! – Shoot up until then I thought I was fabulous and couldn’t wait to come to America and be a movie star like the kids I saw in “Sound of Music”

It took me years to get over that traumatic time. But my mom fed me loving doses of praise and had me read tons of positive thinking books. Norman Vincent Peale’s “The Power of Positive Thinking” gave me my first shift in Conciousness. He made me aware that I could control how I felt and how the world responds to me by controlling my thoughts. Later, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and Ernest Holmes became my teachers.

Today, Scientist Gregg Braden in his book The Divine Matrix confirms the truth that thoughts are energy and how we think and feel does create what we experience.

So of course now I experience compliments all time. I be looking for compliments. When I catch somebody staring at me – I'm thinking – They think I’m fabulous!

Stop worrying about what other people have or what they’re doing or not doing. Most of the time, we read people wrong anyhow. They look good and we see them doing things and going places and we assume they have no fear. Not true. Anybody doing anything significant experiences fear on a regular basis. They just Don’t stop! Or sometimes they do stop for a minute. They may stop to regroup, energize or refocus. I’ve had to stop and do that in my career. After breaking through in film and television, then hitting some disappointing turns I had to stop and rethink my Vision my Dream then recommit.

Stop waiting for everything to be just right before you follow your dream. It ain’t never gonna be just right. I thought when my son was 18 I’d be free. Now my mother is 90 and needs my attention. Stop waiting for the right amount of money, the divorce, the wedding, the promotion. Life is now. 

You can’t wait for everything to line up – you’ll never have enough money, people will always disappoint you. They’re human. It’s not personal. Don Miguel Ruiz reminds us of that in “The Four Agreements”. You just have to harness your mind and follow the vision. The Universe will send to you all the people, money and whatever you need at just the right time. Stay focused on the Vision. Your dreams can happen now. Take one “breath” at a time and you will be surprised at how far you’ll reach. 

Develop the daily discipline of gratitude, thanksgiving, meditation, visualization. Taste the vision, meditate on it, see it and take action daily on it. Surround yourself with positive people regularly. All of this will help to give you a new mind, a courageous mind.

To live your dreams fearlessly requires work but it’s an inner work. You have to work quietly but persistently in your heart. When negative conversations rise up in you, stop them. Don’t buy in and start listening and agreeing. Have compassion for yourself and change the conversation to one that celebrates you and reminds you of your Greatness. This ain’t easy. You will have to do it again and again. Diligently seek out empowering books, tapes, teachers etc. Then Practice, Practice, Practice.

The only thing standing between you and your next beautiful desire is YOU. Change you and your life will change. Strengthen your Mind and you will become Unstoppable.

Finally, say what you are afraid to say. Tell somebody you love them today. People are afraid to do that. Let somebody know you care. Do what you are afraid to do. Say what you are afraid to say. Ask for what you are afraid to ask for.

And no matter what let your light shine! Cause this little light of mine, I'm gonna let it shine! (:

I love you!!
